    Not personally I have not, prices are very steep mind, €1,100 for a 3070, €800 for a 3060, €2,000 for a 3080 and €2,500 to well over €3,000 for a 3090.

    Haven't for GPUs, but if it's anything like their clothing stuff it generally tends to be only brand new, and stuff gets checked by them first (to make sure it's not an empty box or a swapped out card etc) and is shipped directly from StockX themselves.

    The issue you'll have is there'll be no original receipt for an RMA etc, and StockX customer service can be woeful, and there's no warranty from them. So if something does go wrong you'd be up sh*ts creek as they're just a platform for reselling.

    Wouldn't you have the same receipt/RMA problem buying on Ebay? I guess Ebay has the reputation for siding with the buyer on disputes.

    Sure, GPU prices are high everywhere. At least these are transactable prices and you can see the trades being posted.

    PayPal is the main difference for eBay, 9/10 times they'll side with the buyer.

    You are way better off buying a pre-built and selling what you don't want. €2,999.99 for the below spec from dell versus €2,000 for the same GPU off of StockX. It's a no brainer!

    Not impressed so far. I can't even enter a shipping address that it will accept as valid!
